Asian Gynecological Brachytherapy Registry in Cervical Cancer

The registry will follow a retrospective cohort study design by including consecutive patients treated in participating institutions over a 12-month period. It encompasses patients receiving various levels of brachytherapy, including 2D to 3D modalities, and considers different imaging techniques for treatment planning. Contouring variability and patient demographics are also accounted to ensure a comprehensive understanding of real-world application. With a target enrolment of 1,000 patients across multiple centres in FARO member countries, the AGBR aims to capture diverse patient environments and institutional practices. Through this collaborative effort, it seeks to report on different brachytherapy utilization patterns, clinical outcomes, and factors influencing treatment decisions and disparities. Additionally, information related to external radiation, administration of concurrent chemotherapy and overall treatment time will also be captured. Taken together these 3 components and timely administration of treatment constitute pillars of successful and effective treatment for cervix cancer. Administratively, data handling and storage protocols built in protocol will safeguard patient privacy and data integrity. Monitoring and quality assurance processes ensure data completeness and accuracy, while a publication policy promotes transparent dissemination of research findings, prioritizing multi-institutional collaborations and publishing in this domain from Asia.In conclusion, the AGBR once completed will represent a collaborative effort to address the variations in cervical cancer treatment in Asia and provide baseline data for future prospective work.
